ANN VINCENT HANDMADE CANDLES
Ann Vincent's design pieces elegantly capture the essence of slow living through their visual appeal. Based in Ghent, Belgium, Vincent explores a range of disciplines, creating works like the Piu Set, a trio of exquisitely handmade candles. Each candle, crafted from a natural, 100% soy wax blend in soft earthy tones, promises an eco-friendly burn. The wax is poured into molds with meticulous precision and each candle is hand-finished with a sculpting knife for a unique touch. Ranging from 12cm to 16cm in height, the Piu Set brings a touch of serenity to any space. Exemplifying Ann Vincent's characteristically warm style, this classic design piece is a fitting addition to homes with a cozy aesthetic. Priced at 48 EUR, the set is available for purchase on the artist's website or at concept stores like Atelier Sukha in Amsterdam.
